Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 lb chicken breasts or thighs (raw or pre-cooked), shredded
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 2 cups shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, divided
Optional Toppings
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions
- 2 tbsp crumbled blue cheese
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese into the crock pot. Stir gently to combine the mixture evenly.
- Cook the Dip: Cover the crock pot and cook the mixture on low heat. If using raw chicken, cook for 4 hours; if chicken is pre-cooked, cook for 2 to 3 hours. Alternatively, cook on high heat for 2 hours with raw chicken or 1 hour with pre-cooked chicken.
- Shred the Chicken: If using raw chicken, once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the crock pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir to mix everything well.
- Add Remaining Cheese and Melt: Stir in the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese. Cover and let the dip cook for about 20 more minutes until the cheese has melted thoroughly.
- Garnish and Serve: Top the dip with optional chopped green onions, crumbled blue cheese, or a sprinkle of smoked paprika if desired. Serve the dip warm with chips, celery sticks, or slices of bread.
Notes
- For a thicker dip, use cream cheese that has been softened at room temperature for easier mixing.
- If you prefer a spicier dip, add extra buffalo sauce according to taste.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
- To make this recipe gluten free, ensure the buffalo sauce and dressings used are certified gluten free.
- Use fresh green onions and blue cheese for the best flavor on top before serving.
